“Do I scare you?” he whispers. Deciding to be truthful, I nod. “Good,” he breathes across my lips, his mouth so close to mine, I can feel it move when he talks. “Because you scare me too.”

“I’m no one,” I finally say, making my way toward the door. “I don’t matter.” “You do to him,” she reminds me.

“I don’t want your life. Stop trying to force it on me.”
